Week 9, Term 1, 2017

Easter Blessings to all of our families. We wish you all a safe and joyful holiday.

God of Promise and God of Hope,
who through your great mercy 

have granted us new birth

through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,

we praise your wonderful name!

God of Glory and God of Might
who through your great power
have granted us new strength
to endure all things through faith in Christ our risen King,
we praise your wonderful name!
Thanks to our Preps for this special Palm Sunday display outside their classrooms.

You are welcome to join Year 5 for mass on Friday morning at 9am or to come to the children's reenactment of the Way of the Cross from 10:15am to 11:00 am on Friday.

Thank you
Special thanks to all of our staff who have worked hard this term to ensure every child at St Patrick's school is engaged and motivated in their learning. We also thank our wonderful parent community who have helped and supported our school in many ways this term.

We especially thank our Parish Education Board members who will complete their term on the board during our final meeting for Term 1 this week. We acknowledge the outstanding contribution to the board from Peter Righetti, Natalie Cromie and Vanessa Tripodis. We look forward to continuing their good work with our new and continuing board members in the future.

We look forward to the draw of the Easter Raffle at our final assembly for the term on Friday commencing at 12:45pm. School will finish at 2pm this Friday.

If you haven't already seen the children's artwork in the corridor downstairs, then ask your child to show you their portrait. You can also get an insight into the diverse cultural background of our children on the World Harmony Day calendar outside the Prep classrooms. 



History Expos
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Alicia Cerreto who has worked with all classes as part of the Historian in Residence Programme this term. So far, our Year 3 and Year 4 classes have shared their learning at the History Expos this week. 
Many parents have commented on how engaged and motivated their children have been with their learning this term.
This is a wonderful way to bring our school vision alive: Engaged and motivated learners always faithful our loving God.







SCHOOL UNIFORM
Please take the opportunity over the upcoming school holidays to check all student's school uniform, most importantly ensuring students have the correct school shoes and that all items are clearly named.  There will be a transition period until 1st of May when either summer or winter uniforms can be worn dependent on the weather conditions.  As of May 1st, all children will be expected to be in full winter uniform.  

PARKING IN DALNY ROAD
We would like to thank you for patience and cooperation in not parking at the church end of Dalny Road on the days that we requested recently.  Unfortunately the new traffic island makes it almost impossible for the school buses to access the school if there are cars parked on the road.  We are currently in discussion with Glen Eira Council regarding a possible solution.
